New York in 1911 in authentic videos where the speed and added artificial sound from Guy Jones has been corrected. The images come from a small group of Swedes who worked for the film company Svenska Biografteatern, and traveled to New York to take pictures of the city. We see a tram passing from Manhattan, the first cars in circulation, statue toy John Ericsson, Flariton the building in the distance of Fifth Avenue and the Statue of Liberty.
